Exchange 2007 - Setting Max Message Size Globally

[CRamos]

Hi All,

When one sets the Max Send and Recieve Size for messages and want to set it at the Orginizational Level where does one set it? Is it done at the Hub Transport or on the Edge Server?

Also I know with Exchange 2007 SP1 it is just in a tab setting. I would like to know from PS perspective since I am running my test environment without SP1. I have re-done my test environment after finding out that the Exchange 2007 Exam 70-236 covers Exchange 2007 without SP1. Since there was quit a few changes I found it confusing and wanted to make sure I learn the powershell commands especial for the ones that do not have a GUI option.

Thanks

Carlos

The only place in the GUI you would do it would be Org\Hub\Global Settings\Transport properties. Don't worry about Edge; it will take the org-level settings.

This is how you'd do it with PowerShell:
Set-TransportConfig -maxsendsize 10mb -maxreceivesize 10mb

To find out what other parameters you could set using the Set-TransportConfig command, do this:

Get-TransportConfig | fl

Or google "set-transportconfig" to find the actual full documentation.

Thanks David for the help and Info.

One last question in regards to message size. I notice when I tried to send with a size restriction on, the message just gets stuck in the Outbox folder. Is there a way to have it generate an NDR with the some statement that the message is too large?

I am trying to recall if that was an Exchange 200 feature in the environment I used to work in or was it a setting in the Anti-Virus that was used.

Thanks in advance again.
